In the table of contents he gave thirty lectures, and 

 it was almost exactly a reprint of the table of contents 

 of the lectures on chemistry published by him in 1797. 



There can be no doubt that Dr. Grarnett printed these 

 pamphlets, the one of twelve and the other of two 

 hundred and sixteen pages, without consulting the 

 managers; for at their meeting on February 2, 1801, 

 they resolved that the annual courses of philosophical 

 and chemical lectures at the Eoyal Institution should 

 commence ' as soon as the new theatre can be got ready 

 for them, and that Count Eumford be authorised to 

 take all such steps on the part of the managers as shall 

 be necessary in that business ; ' and they also resolved 

 that Sir Joseph Banks, Henry Cavendish, and Count 

 Eumford be a committee to superintend the drawing up 

 and publication of a suitable syllabus or account of the 

 philosophical and chemical lectures given at the Eoyal 

 Institution. They further resolved that no syllabus of 

 lectures or other account of what is doing or done, or

 professorship at the Eoyal Institution. 



On February 16 the managers resolved that their 

 resolutions of February 2 should be communicated to
